SIMON
Peter Allen
Liza Minelli (Arranged by Dick Hazard)
Thinking back through time and space,
I recall another place -
Crooked teeth and funny face,
But he was there.
Simon was kind to me -
Simon ... Simon was kind to me.
Winding roads, endless walks,
Telling me his dreams, his thoughts ...
Every day was something new for us to share.
Simon was kind to me -
Simon ... Simon was kind to me.
So it didn't hurt to have no friends
'Cause I pinned my hopes on him.
When I'd call, he'd come; he'd never let me down.
Simon stood so straight, so tall,
I never had a doubt at all
That Simon would be there forever.
Forever ...
Got a call from him today;
Seems that Simon's run away
With the only girl he ever loved.
He just called to tell me so -
I'm his dearest friend, you know -
And how much I would like her,
And how much she'd like me,
And would I come and visit when I'm free.
Simon was kind to me -
Simon ... Simon was kind to me.
Simon ... Simon ...
